Mike believes in fiscal responsibility and smaller government. As a small business owner, he knows first-hand that businesses create jobs--not the government. Thanks to his seat on the U.S. House Ways & Means Committee, Mike is in a position to promote pro-growth tax reform that would simplify the tax code and lower tax rates which would leave more money in the pockets of American families and workers.
